Title: Display apparatus and control method thereof
Inventor: ASANUMA TOMOYA
IPC: H04N17/04
Filed: 2014-10-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a display apparatus that includes a light-emitting unit and a displaying unit configured to display an image on a screen by modulating light from the light-emitting unit. The display can operate in a normal mode during which the entire screen is illuminated by a first light, 801. The display also operates in a measurement mode, 802, during which first images (measurement patches) and second images (reference patches) are displayed on the screen in order to measure the visual characteristic of a user. During this measurement mode the light-emitting unit emits the first light in the display region in which the measurement patches are displayed and emits a second light having a broader emission spectrum distribution than the first light in the display region in which the reference patches are displayed. Thus the reference patches are illuminated by light with a broader spectrum emission that the light which illuminates the measurement patches. The first light may be provided by red, green and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) whilst the second light may be provided by a cold cathode tube element (CCFL.)

Title: Device, system, and method of generating and handling cryptographic parameters
Inventor: Ruvein Itskhak Levin
IPC: H04L9/30
Filed: 2018-06-12
Abstract: A first device 101 and second device 102 store/utilise the same secret seeds, same deterministic pseudo-random number generation functions (PRNG) 111, 112, and deterministic sequential modification functions 113, 123. The first device, acting as an assisting device to the second, assisted, device, which has reduced computing resources, generates a candidate value, PCV, of a prime number using its seed and PRNG. The candidate value is primality tested 112 to determine if it is a prime number and if not, sequentially modifies the candidate using its deterministic sequential modification unit 113 in iterations, with a counter value incremented 117 at each iteration, until a confirmed prime number, CPN, is found. The first device indicates to the second device how to go about re-generating the CPN. The first device may indicate, for example, how many iterations, as a count value, C1, are necessary to re-generate the CPN. Alternatively, the first device may indicate a difference between the outcome of the initial PRNG and the CPN or instead a K right-most or K least significant bits (or a transformed version thereof) or a XOR operation result thereof. The assisted device offloads the primality testing to the assisting device.
